burned Clay For Ballast.

The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
is laying down large quantities OF
burned clay ballast on its Iowa lines,
having put in some forty miles In ten
mile sections, besides large quantity
during the latter part of this season.
Is is said TO give excellent results, and
it is certainly not very expensive nor
troublesome to burn, when the clay ID
at hand and other ballasting material
is not. The Union Pacific, the Chi
cago, st. Paul, Minneapolis and Omahs
anc the Hannibal and ST. Joseph roads
have also used considerable quantities
oft.
To prepare the ballast the soil is
stripped off for length of 800 to | ,000
feet-whatever length of train foi
loading is desired-and a fire started
with kindling. On this a mixture Of
slack and pea coal is sprinkled, then q
thin layer of clay, two TO three inche,
thick, then another good sprinkling Of
coal, then more clay, and so on indefi
nitely, in the proportion OF about ore
ton of coal to eight cubic yards OF bal
last.
When fully burned the pile is abou
8 feet high and 20 TO 80 feet wide, ant
from 4 10 ) months are consumed ir
burning it, small gang OF men being
on hand constantly TO feed the pile
One gang will ordinarily burn iron
$4,000 10 $4,000 cubic yards at once
and its cost on the cars al the pits il
about so cents per cubic yard. Altel
the first rain the ballast is not dusty
and does not crumble.
